Donate an hour

Every hour, ten more people in the UK are told they will lose their sight.

Donate an hour of your time at a local fundraising collection or event and together we can raise the funds needed to help support people with sight loss every step of the way. Raising just £8 could support a working guide dog partnership for a day.

Together we can change lives…

We host hundreds of collections year-round on high streets and in local stores across the UK. By giving just one hour of your time at a collection or event, you’ll have the chance to meet new people, learn more about our work and most importantly – have fun! 

Please note that all participants must be over 18 to take part in Donate an Hour.
